A few days ago I was smart enough to take a crack at Kevin's recipe for Black Pepper & Garlic Buns, and my, am I ever glad I did. I made minimal substitutions, namely using only white flour (I didn't have any whole wheat, and I'm lazy), white pepper (same), and shaping them into hoagie-style buns.
We had these with some fresh Italian sausages picked up at the Farmer's Market, sweet corn on the cob, and a nice avocado and tomato salad.
In other news, one of the projects I've been working on has come to fruition--I will now being doing restaurant reviews (and other food-related writing) for Knoxville's Cityview Magazine. They are revamping their website at the moment, but once it is up and running I will link to monthly reviews and other tidbits. Needless to say, I am pretty excited about this opportunity and can't believe I get paid to do this.
Locals, look for my review of new restaurant La Costa in the July issue, on newsstands at the end of June.
Marianne,
ReplyDeleteI'd congratulate you on your new gig -- but I'm far too jealous.{g}
Cool. I'll have to try this recipe out as well.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the restaurant reviews!
Hi Marianne,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fabolous sausage hoagie--yum! I've been playing Food Blog Scool's game to discover new blogs, and I ended up here. I'm glad I did; I'll certainly be back!
Good luck with the restaurant reviews!
Congratulations on the new project Marianne!

Thanks, everyone! Jennifer, I should go play this game.

ReplyDeleteLis--
ReplyDeleteThe magazine is getting a shiney new website, so they won't be online just yet. As soon as they are I will post a monthly link. I'm so excited!
